| Operating Instructions Manual | Operating Instructions Manual
AMD Picasso Plus and Picasso Lite Plus Diode Laser Systems are for Dental Use Only according to the
Indications for Use in this OIM Version of the manual. The laser is to be used under the supervision of a
Dental professional.
Laser tips, once initiated, are extremely HOT. Touching flammable surfaces with an initiated tip is not
recommended.
Periodic cleaning of the tip during procedures is required to keep the efficiency of the heat transfer. If
removing coagulum, use CaviCide™ or other equivalent solution following manufacturer’s instructions. If
using any product containing alcohol, make sure to allow tip to air dry fully prior to re-initiating the tip.
When placing the handpiece on the laser holder, make sure to have the tip pointing away from all plastic
articles to avoid damage to the plastic and/or the tip.
Units can only accept one input at a time. Laser settings will reflect the last input from the user.
CAUTION: DIODE LASERS ARE ATTRACTED TO MELANIN AND HEMOGLOBIN. POWER LEVELS ARE
INVERSELY RELATED TO THE AMOUNT OF PIGMENTATION AND VASCULARITY OF THE TARGETED TISSUE.
AS PIGMENTATION VARIES FROM PATIENT TO PATIENT, START WITH THE LOWEST POWER SETTING AND
INCREASE AS NEEDED TO ACCOMPLISH THE PROCEDURE IN TISSUES WHICH HAVE LOWER MELANIN
AND VASCULAR CONTENT; USE ANESTHETIC AS NEEDED FOR PATIENT COMFORT.
MULTI-TIP HANDPIECE WITH FIBER
The delivery system used in conjunction with
removable and disposable tips consists of the
Multi-Tip Handpiece/fiber assembly:
Multi-Tip Handpiece and Fiber
• Picasso (orange) / Picasso Lite (black)
• Length: 2 meters
• F.C. Connector and Handpiece
NOTE: Tips are not autoclavable.
Disposable Tips and Protective Cap
The advantage of a disposable tip over the traditional strippable
and cleavable fiber is reduced set-up time since no stripping or
cleaving of fiber is necessary. This accessory device is an
“applied part” per IEC 60601-1.
PRECAUTIONS
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: THE DISPOSABLE TIPS (FIGURE 5), WHICH ARE THE APPLIED PARTS ARE FOR SINGLE USE
ONLY AND MUST BE CLEANED PRIOR TO USE.
Using Disposable Tips:
• Assorted bendable tips are available for use with both the Picasso Plus and Picasso Lite Plus Laser.
• Disposable tips are not sterile, and must be cleaned with a disinfectant wipe prior to use. If alcohol
wipes are used, air dry prior to installing the tip on the Multi-Tip Handpiece and initiating the tip for use.
• Purple tips are 300 µm in size, available in 5 mm and 10 mm length.
• Orange tips are 400 µm in size, available in 5 mm and 10 mm length.
• Green tips are 200 µm in size, available in 20 mm length.
• When using 200 µm and 300 µm tips, you must set the power on your laser in accordance with the
instructions provided inside the tip box.
• 300 µm and 400 µm tips may be used according to the Picasso or Picasso Lite duty cycle up to
5W. The 200 µm tips may not be used above 3W according to the established duty cycle. For any
wattage, the surgical hand piece is also suitable. Only the Quadra tip can be used at wattages
above 5W in the Picasso only for whitening purposes.
WARNING: To avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation, do not use the Picasso Plus
or Picasso Lite Plus without the appropriate tip for the procedure being performed.
CAUTION: USE A DISINFECTING WIPE, SUCH AS CAVIWIPES
™
TO CLEAN THE DISPOSABLE TIP PRIOR TO USE.
To install a disposable tip, remove the orange protective cap (Figure 6) and slide the tip over the handpiece
until the tip is fully seated.
You should hear and feel a slight ‘click’ when the tip snaps into place. To remove, pull gently on the tip and
dispose of properly. The tip initiation procedure is the same as in the case of traditional fiber (refer to the
Quick Start Guide).
These tips have a bendable steel cannula allowing the user to customize the angle of each tip for a
specific application. The tip can be bent from 0° to a maximum of 90°. To bend the tip, pressure should
be applied only in the middle of the metal cannula to form a smooth curve. See the Quick Start Guide for
additional information.
CAUTION: DO NOT BEND THE TIP MORE THAN 90 DEGREES. DO NOT BEND THE TIP AT THE BASE OF
THE CANNULA.
Bending the disposable tip more than once in an unintended manner is a risk to the fiber optic cable inside
the cannula leading to potentially lowered power output.
After bending to the desired angle, the cannula should be visually inspected to ensure the tip is intact.
Care should be taken to not bend the metal cannula multiple times.
